Nick shook in the dark hallway. He was lost but he didn't care. He had just killed someone. He had to be as far away from that room and that dead girl as poosible.
Nick looked at his hands. He started to cry,"How could I? How?"
The sad thing was, he did feel better. He felt better than he had in years. Taking a deep breath, Nick started to walk down the winding hallway.
"Nick please, just listen to me."
Nick turned and glared at Wren,"YOU! You did this! You and that thing. You both made me believe all this was for good and you lied."
Wren grabbed Nick's arm stopping him from turning away,"This is for the good Nick. What we do is for good."
Nick shook her off of him,"Killing someone isn't for the good! It's wrong. You can't just kill someone for the hell of it."
Wren grabbed him again,"It's for your life your energy. Ok, so maybe killing someone isn't very nice but, you have to live. Sometimes people have to die for the good. Don't you know that?"
Nick sighed,"Not for energy."
Wren looked up at him,"You are too powerful Nick. Now that you are learning what your powers are. Regular sleep doesn't help you much anymore. It helps some sure, but not when it comes to your power. Unless you stop using your powers all together, then you must take energy from others for yourself."
Nick clentched his teeth,"Then I will give up my powers. I don't want to be part of this."
Wren grabbed him as he started to walk away again,"Nick, you can't. We need you desperately. Please just give me a little bit of time to show you. Please!"
Nick ran his fingers through his hair, "Fine, but no more killing got me?"
Wren hid her smile with biting her lip,"I got you."
Nick turned and started to walk again,"Come on. We'll do this at MY house. Not here."
Wren smiled at his back,"Ofcourse."
She followed him for a few steps then raised her hand and whispered something. Nick heard her, but didn't understand but he kept walking,"What did you say?" Wren whispered it again and kicked at a brick on the wall smiling.
Nick lost his balance and fell, hitting his head on one of the bricks.
Wren kneeled down and looked at Nick who was now unconsious,"Sorry Nick but, we will play by your rules later." She then started to drag him down the hallway. The opposite way he had been walking.
